In a riveting 3 set match Johanna Konta defeated Simona Halep 6-7, 7-6, 6-4 to advance to the semi-finals. Not since Virginia Wade in 1977 has a British Woman advanced this far at Wimbledon. Konta next meets Venus Williams, a straight set winner over Jelena Ostapenko 6-3, 7-5.
Konta holds a 3-2 head to head advantage over Williams, but Venus won their last meeting. It should make for an interesting semi.
In other news Novak Djokovic moved into the quarterfinals with a easy win over Adrian Mannarino 6-2, 7-6, 6-4. There is some concern though as Djokovic needed a medical time out to have his shoulder examined and treated. Hopefully, it does not ruin an expected semi-final against Roger Federer.

Venus should be driven without Serena around but can get erratic.

That is true, Williams hits everything so hard and goes for her shots, she is prone to a lot of unforced errors. The positive is she has won 5 titles at Wimbledon so Venus is very comfortable on grass.

Fantastic match Simona was serving for the victory in the 2nd set but could not put her away. Kudos to Konta

Djokavic always needs a medical time out.

She certainly made it. But I'm sure Serena will handle her well.

Can't wait to see if Venus wins again and I hope Djokovic is fit, because a match between him and Federer would be a true tennis battle @dgobucks226
! Well done to Querrey. @dgobucks226 (37621)

A bad shoulder is certainly not good for any tennis player.

He actually had to stop playing today and retire from his match. It was his elbow causing him the pain.

I enjoyed Wimbledon very much this year. So pleased for Johanna as she has improved so much in such a short period of time. I was very happy to see Federer win the title too as I felt he deserved to be there. He treats the sport with such honor and respect.
